COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Michigan was swept by Ohio State last season and had lost four straight in Columbus, last winning during the 2013-14 season. It’s a rivalry and Michigan is shooting for a Big Ten championship.

The Wolverines probably didn’t need any extra motivation for Sunday’s matchup with Ohio State. They found some anyway before beating the Buckeyes 92-87.
